between Prince Bismarck and Signor Crispi,
the Italian Prime Minister, completely over
shadows in interest the recent shooting on
the frontier. Count Herbert Bismarck left
the foreign Office this afternoon for Brechan
Junction to receive Signor Crispi and accom-
pAny him to Friedrehsruhe. The interview

special reference to the renewal Of the mill
tary convention between Italy. Austria and

written public letter, in which he says:

town the Solicitor General telegraphed in
cypher to the crown counsel, Mistake;

disclosed with brutal candor."
In an interview Harrington says: "Per-

termined upon was to give me all the lnso-

the part of the Castle authorities TO suppress

greatest jealousy is felt as regards the rights
Of the press"
